Which wheels? 15's or 16's Pros / Cons of each?

I am looking to get some new wheels sometime in the near future.
What I know the wheel must have:
--Weigh less than the OEM steelies
--Gunmetal (dark silver)
--Less than $900 for the wheels / tires
--Ride quality closer to stock than the 205/40/17 tires

So far I am leaning towards this style wheel.
Since I have a lot of black on the car (4 door 98 Civic) I think the gunmetal would look better rather than the bronze in the picture below.


The ride difference between my OEM 14's and the 17's I had on is like night and day. With the 17's I could feel all the bumps and cracks in the roads where the OEM is more smoother with the thicker rubber.

Another thing is keeping my ride pretty low. I actually have it up about 1/4" because the 42+ offset on the Tenzo's (17's) would scrape pretty bad on dips and stuff. Would a 44+ or 45+ offset work better? I would like to get 205 width tires if I can keep it low and avoid the scrapping.

So, which wheel size 15's or 16's? Pros / Cons?

Which is better for a daily driver?

Pics of each size wheels mounted are welcome too.

Thanks!
